पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras A process similar to the preceding is applied again, only, the objects to be taken up in the former meditations are gross; in this they are fine. 45. सूक्ष्मविषयत्वं चालिङ्गपर्यवसानम् ॥ ४५॥ sookshmavishayatvan chalinggaparyavasanam The finer objects end with the Pradhana. The gross objects are only the elements, and everything manufactured out of them. The fine objects begin with the Tanmatras or fine particles. The organs, the mind¹, egoism, the mind-stuff (the cause of all manifestion) the equilibrium state of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas materials—called Pradhana (chief), Prakrti (nature), or Avyakta (unmanifest), are all included within the category of fine objects. The Purusa (the Soul) alone is excepted from this definition. 46. ता एव सबीजः समाधिः ॥ ४६॥ ta eva sabijah samadhih These concentrations are with seed. These do not destroy the seeds of past actions, thus cannot give liberation, but what they bring to the Yogi is stated in the following aphorisms. 47. निर्विचारवैशारद्येऽध्यात्मप्रसादः ॥ ४७॥ nirvicharavaisharadye adhyatmaprasadah ¹ The mind, or common sensory, the aggregate of all senses 48
